Summary
The incredible story of the Sabaoon School in Pakistan, which uses psychology, religious scholars and other techniques to reverse years of Taliban indoctrination of young boys. Filmed over 18 months, the film exposes the violence and hardship these boys experienced in the Taliban, including aborted suicide missions, abduction and brainwashing. But its mission of rehabilitation is not without its problems; only a fraction of the boys have made successful transitions back into society, whilst one of the school’s teachers was assassinated.Instagram - @realstoriesdocsAny queries, please contact us at: [email protected]
